A VISIT TO NUKUBATI will take you "Off the Beaten Track", for those who wish to experience the pristine beauty of the Great Sea Reef whilst receiving first class service and attention.

Nukubati Island Resort will encompass those things which make Fiji truly unique - the ecology and natural history, Fiji’s hidden heritage, culture, cuisine and customs, the European history and of course, the unbelievable magic of the largely uncharted Great Sea Reef, the world's third longest barrier reef.

Catering for a limited number of guests, Nukubati is locally owned, preserving its incomparable Fijian style in an atmosphere of total seclusion. Peter and Jenny Bourke’s vision in developing Nukubati is to provide a first class retreat in an environment that remains natural and unspoiled. This presents some challenges. Too often a development can compromise the very environment that is its attraction. Nukubati has been developed with a respect for the environment and a view to its long term sustainability. The natural environment of the island is beautiful. Being under a mile offshore, views of mountains and the coastline form a spectacularly southerly backdrop. Unlimited ocean views, with a few distant islands lend to the tranquil and spacious atmosphere.

The island is set in an extensive network of coral reefs, which provide superb opportunities for snorkeling, diving and fishing. About 25 kilometers out are “the breakers” where the reef meets an expanse of ocean – a truly great day or half day for diving, fishing and snorkeling. Visibility in the crystal clear water of this pristine untouched wonderland is amongst the best in the world, extending at times to 60 meters.

Nukubati Island Resort is currently the only resort with direct access to the Great Sea Reef.

According to the WWF, a recent survey of the Great Sea Reef showed that it is home to 55% of all the known coral reef fish species in Fiji, 74% of all the known coral species, 44% of the known marine flora and 44% of Fiji's endemic reef fish species. "The survey team also recorded 117 species of sponges, 31 species of coelenterate and 12 species of ascidians," a WWF information kit said.

The island itself is sandy with extensive lawns around the buildings and all manmade structures on the island are thoughtfully planned to blend well with the natural environment and to minimize depletion or degradation of natural resources. Fresh water is either filtered rainwater or from a desalination plant. Fruit and vegetables are organically grown on the island and meats are supplied from nearby free-range farms. Nukubati is surrounded by a wealth of unique natural and cultural heritage and are continually examining the links between the activities and the environment.

Facilities and services designed to use minimum of power.

Nukubati has one of the largest solar panel plants in the Pacific, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of electricity (240vAC) from the sun.
